Re: [Koha] Unhiding subfields in a MARC framework

Salvete! >That said, I don't understand the hidden decision code completely. > >More generally, anyone know why we are using magic numbers instead of >a select for hidden in the framework editor? Since magic numbers please packet gnomes. ;) But seriously, that's an excellent question. Wonderful thinking MJ. Is it related to the whole tab set up that everyone hates anyway? If so, can it be nukerated in favour of simplicity? (I bet this is no easy fix, but it would be nice!) Cheers, Brooke

Still not finding documents
by Lenora Oftedahl 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

So, we've now got the database mirrored on a machine for public use outside the firewall. I have a production database that I edit all day long. Then those changes are copied over to the public machine. I can see both machines and search on both machines. Here's the difficulty. The records that I have not been able to locate on the production machine are visible and searchable on the public machine. Looking at the database on the production machine, the records are there. So, the question remains, why can I not pull them up on the production machine? We have run zebra indexing with the exact same flags on both machines. I am still not retrieving records on both. HM. PLEASE, any help would be greatly appreciated. Lenora StreamNet Regional Library Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission

Cross post from Greenstone, which was a cross post from somewhere. Wonder if any of the Koha people will be there? I see that Sally Jo Cunningham, University of Waikato, New Zealand, is one of the program members. Is that anybody we know? Maybe I'll put in a travel request. :-) Greg Lawson Rolling Hills Consolidated Library 1912 N.

by Roche III, Edward 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

Good Morning All Hope all is well with everyone. I have Koha install on Ubuntu 8.10 (thanks to a pointer from Rob Weir to great directions by Andy Giesler). I now need to export data from our current Follett system into Koha for our librarians to play with and see if they like it. Has anyone done this yet and if so do you have a "How To" instructions. Thanks Ed Edward J. Roche Network Administrator Solanco School District 717.786.2151 x2437 "At the End of the Day, Did You Play to Win or Not to Lose?"

Re: [Koha] OPAC availability
by Rachel Hollis 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

Soon you kind folks are going to be sick of me. After testing and moving forward with automation, we are experiencing inconstancies in the OPAC display. I can control the outcome by clicking Normal, MARC, ISBD and Modification Log after item input/save in the staff client. See example search on the word "teachers": 1. Mentoring beginning teachers : guiding, reflecting, coaching. by Boreen, Jean. Type: Book; Format: print ; Literary form: not fiction Publisher: Stenhouse Publishers, c2000. Availability: Match: ... Mentoring beginning teachers : ... First year teachers ... Actions: Place Hold Save to Lists Add to Cart 2. The chronicle of higher education. by Editorial Projects for Education, Inc. Type: Continuing Resource; Format: print ; Type of continuing resource: p periodical directory Publisher: Editorial Project for Education, 1966- Availability: No copies available <-- the status is "not for loan" Match: ... College teachers ... Actions: Save to Lists Add to Cart 3. Qualities of effective teachers. by Stronge, James H. Type: Book; Format: print ; Literary form: not fiction Publisher: Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development, c2002. Availability: Copies available at: Stevens-Henager College, Boise Campus (1). Match: ... Qualities of effective teachers / ... Actions: Place Hold Save to Lists Add to Cart We are on Koha 3 with Library Set and XSLT set to ON. Within the database, the items table shows no null values in homebranch. Of course, the big questions are how to have all of our titles available for loan to display like example 3, and how to ensure that it is not a problem in the future. Any ideas?

OPAC availability
by Rachel Hollis 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

Greetings colleagues, I entered several items this morning; availability display in the OPAC seems hit and miss. On initial search screens, copies available display for some items but not others. Clicking on an offending record shows item location, call number and status, just not on initial search screens. Library is set and still it is hit and miss with OPAC availability display. Using cataloging, I checked a sample and they are the same except for price, call number and barcode. Within the database, the items table shows no null values in homebranch. How can I get availability to consistently show in the OPAC? In the following example, we are desiring the first display of availability. 1. Tuesdays with Morrie : an old man, a young man, and life's greatest lesson by Albom, Mitch. Publisher: Broadway Books, c2007. Availability: Copies available at: Stevens-Henager College, Boise Campus 2. Autobiography of a face by Grealy, Lucy. Publisher: Houghton Mifflin, 1994. Availability: What do I need to do differently? We're on Koha 3.
